Rare's open-world pirate adventure game received another update today, bringing along a slew of changes as well as bug fixes. The Sea of Thieves 1.0.5 update weighs in around 1.3GB, and is already available for download for both Windows 10 and the Xbox One family of consoles.

As for the changes, the message that was pinned on the Ferry of the Damned in update 1.0.3 with advice on how to scuttle ships has been rewritten to give better instructions. Also, instruments will no longer play the same shanty twice in a row when pirates are flipping through songs to find their favorite.

Meanwhile, the ammo boxes on both the galleon and the sloop have been moved to better positions, possibly due to the complaints from the community about accidentally selecting the armory box when trying to restock on ammo.

Lastly, all UI elements should now fade in when being opened, and contents of the Vanity & Clothing Chest will "load gracefully when browsing."

In addition to further server crash fixes and a fix for a "potential client deadlock when encountering a networking error," here are the resolved issues in update 1.0.5:

We have been resolving these spawning issues across the last 2 updates (1.0.3, 1.0.4), however with this update (1.0.5) we have now resolved all known reported spawning issues. If you find any further problem islands, please log a Support Ticket noting the island and we will investigate further.

Players will no longer be stuck with a single weapon slot and players weapon choice will now also persist across sessions.

Players who were experiencing the Single Weapon Slot issue will now be resolved as soon as they load into game. No more early visits to the Ferryman required!

Players are experiencing delayed achievements and commendations from in-game actions.

We are working on a way for our Customer Support team to re-award these achievements and commendations back to players.

Rare revealed earlier this month that the first major content update for Sea of Thieves, titled The Hungering Deep, is slated for early May, so we could see that arrive alongside next week's update. But in the meantime, the studio teased some upcoming cosmetic items heading for the game with a screenshot, seen above.
